Copper affects virulence and diverse phenotypes of uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis

CONCLUSION: The finding of copper-mediated virulence and fitness reinforced the importance of copper for prevention and therapeutic interventions against P. mirabilis infections. As such, this study could facilitate the copper-based strategies against UTI by P. mirabilis.PMID:38453541 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.02.007
